I only hope his cohost took away his car keys.

[stevestevens]

Mitch is obviously boosting his own ego and lying to himself because when you like at Trumbo's comps, they compare him to Joe Carter.

[Docwaukee]

If you took 40 of Trumbo's strikeouts and turned them into walks and then took another 40 of his outs and turned them into hits, Mitch would be close.  Retard.

[NrM]

I think we need video proof of this.

[The Dude]

Don't hate the guy, though I sometimes wonder if he even listens to what comes outof his own mouth.

Mitch is by far the worst paid analyst on television. 

 

If you listen to him for about a minute, you get a pretty good idea of how dumb he is.

my new twitter: shit my mitch says. it has a nice alliterative mood.

I caught a little bit of MLB Tonight earlier. He said Goldschmidt was the better all around hitter, not Trumbo.

He thinks he's hot shit because he was in a Mastercard commercial with RA Dickey.

even that is some solid analysis that you can't get anywhere else.

He always seems to be twitching in a pre-Parkinsons-type mini-seizure.  I find him to be entertaining/funny, but I don't think there's a lot of substance in what he says.

[Agalloch]

I feel bad because I want to like him because he seems like a fine fella in real life but he says the dumbest things on the air!

[JAHV76]

Just because you are famous and an athlete it does not make you smart.

He likes guys who do damage, and Trumbo does that. However, most of that damage is caused by the wind when he swings and misses.

[floplag]

it really is rather comical how all the talking heads on the networks have been slobbering over the guy since the trade when the same asshats were down on him here...

I heard him say the same thing yesterday using the phrase 'obviously better' IIRC.

 

He basically said Trumbo needs more protection because he's NOT as good a hitter, so he put Goldy behind Trumbo in his batting order thinking it would help the MOTO see the best pitches.

[Angel Oracle]

I love seeing the ball in Williams' mouth in that tweet.    Self-explanatory

And when he isn't going through one of his Timmy Lupus like massive slumps

Trumbo last season saw a lot of great pitches and took them for strikes.
